• MEDIA: Terrorist Arrest Underscores Vulnerabilities of Biden's 'CBP One

    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jun 27 10:51:03 2024
    Morris Dees and $PLC certified deplorable, Andrew Arthur on whether
    Donald Trump will nominate NASSCOM.IN/AmericaFirst.COM's Chad Wolf to
    succeed Alejandro Mayorkas at DHS.GOV and how much Amy Swonger predicts
    it will cost Trump to convince John Thune (or Rick Scott) to consent: <URL:https://cis.org/Arthur/Terrorist-Arrest-Underscores-Vulnerabilities-Bidens-CBP-One-Scheme/>
    | Normally, I would give the Biden administration a pass for following
    | a directive that neither the Bush, Obama, nor Trump administrations
    | saw fit to rescind (assuming they knew it existed), but as the
    | number of SIAs has surged in the past three years, it was incumbent
    | on current DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to at least revisit it.
    |
    | That didn't happen, however, until last month - after an Afghan
    | migrant with suspected terror ties entered illegally and was
    | released (twice) by DHS - and shortly after Mayorkas reversed his
    | own recission of a Trump-era policy allowing asylum officers to
    | consider terrorist bars to asylum.
    |
    | Plainly, Mayorkas is taking to heart warnings from FBI Director
    | Chris Way that "dangerous individuals" are crossing the border, as
    | well as findings from DHS's own most-recent Homeland Threat
    | Assessment suggesting that, "Terrorists and criminal actors may
    | exploit the elevated flow and increasingly complex security
    | environment to enter the United States".

    Will Trump de-classify the 9/11 report?

    "This is less a thread about foreign policy than the constant and
    distracting dramas of Trump. He says/does something absurd, and
    instead of just letting it go or criticizing him, some feel
    compelled to intellectualize it and dramatize it. I know because I
    used to do it. 12/" - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://x.com/emeriticus/status/1665191451913773057>
